Circuit Descriptin THEORY OF OPERATION Intrductin The IR84W uses a PWM vltage mde cntrl scheme with external cmpensatin t prvide gd nise immunity and maximum flexibility in selecting inductr values and capacitr types. The switching frequency is prgrammable frm 250kHz t.5mhz and prvides the capability f ptimizing the design in terms f size and perfrmance. IR84W prvides precisely regulated utput vltage prgrammed via tw external resistrs frm 0.7 t 0.9*in. The IR84W perates with an external bias supply frm 4.5 t 5.5, allwing an extended perating input vltage range frm.5 t 6. If the input t the Enable pin is derived frm the bus vltage by a suitably prgrammed resistive divider, it can be ensured that the IR84W des nt turn n until the bus vltage reaches the desired level. Only after the bus vltage reaches r exceeds this level will the vltage at Enable pin exceed its threshld, thus enabling the IR84W. Therefre, in additin t being a lgic input pin t enable the IR84W, the Enable feature, with its precise threshld, als allws the user t implement an Under-ltage Lckut fr the bus vltage in. This is desirable particularly fr high utput vltage applicatins, where we might want the IR84W t be disabled at least until in exceeds the desired utput vltage level. The device utilizes the n-resistance f the lw side MOSFET as current sense element, this methd enhances the cnverter s efficiency and reduces cst by eliminating the need fr external current sense resistr. IR84W includes tw lw R ds(n) MOSFETs using IR s HEXFET technlgy. These are specifically designed fr high efficiency applicatins. Under-ltage Lckut and POR The under-vltage lckut circuit mnitrs the input supply cc and the Enable input. It assures that the MOSFET driver utputs remain in the ff state whenever either f these tw signals drp belw the set threshlds. Nrmal peratin resumes nce cc and Enable rise abve their threshlds. The POR (Pwer On Ready) signal is generated when all these signals reach the valid lgic level (see system blck diagram). When the POR is asserted the sft start sequence starts (see sft start sectin). Fig. a. Nrmal Start up, Device turns n when the Bus vltage reaches 0.2 Figure b. shws the recmmended start-up sequence fr the nn-sequenced peratin f IR84W. Enable The Enable features anther level f flexibility fr start up. The Enable has precise threshld which is internally mnitred by Under-ltage Lckut (ULO) circuit. Therefre, the IR84W will turn n nly when the vltage at the Enable pin exceeds this threshld, typically,.2. Fig. b.

Fig. 5. Pre-Bias startup pulses Fig. c. Recmmended startup sequence, Sequenced peratin Pre-Bias Startup IR84W is able t start up int pre-charged utput, which prevents scillatin and disturbances f the utput vltage. The utput starts in asynchrnus fashin and keeps the synchrnus MOSFET ff until the first gate signal fr cntrl MOSFET is generated. Figure 4 shws a typical Pre-Bias cnditin at start up. The synchrnus MOSFET always starts with a narrw pulse width and gradually increases its duty cycle with a step f 25%, 50%, 75% and 00% until it reaches the steady state value. The number f these startup pulses fr the synchrnus MOSFET is internally prgrammed. Figure 5 shws a series f 2, 6, 8 startup pulses. Sft-Start The IR84W has a prgrammable sft-start t cntrl the utput vltage rise and t limit the current surge at the start-up. T ensure crrect start-up, the sft-start sequence initiates when the Enable and cc rise abve their ULO threshlds and generate the Pwer On Ready (POR) signal. The internal current surce (typically 20uA) charges the external capacitr C ss linearly frm 0 t. Figure 6 shws the wavefrms during the sft start. The start up time can be estimated by: T start (.4-0.7) * C 20μA SS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - () During the sft start the OCP is enabled t prtect the device fr any shrt circuit and ver current cnditin.

Shutdwn The IR84W can be shutdwn by pulling the Enable pin belw its threshld. This will tristate bth, the high side driver as well as the lw side driver. Alternatively, the utput can be shutdwn by pulling the sft-start pin belw 0.. Nrmal peratin is resumed by cycling the vltage at the Sft Start pin. Over-Current Prtectin The ver current prtectin is perfrmed by sensing current thrugh the R DS(n) f lw side MOSFET. This methd enhances the cnverter s efficiency and reduces cst by eliminating a current sense resistr. As shwn in figure 7, an external resistr (R OCSet ) is cnnected between OCSet pin and the switch nde (SW) which sets the current limit set pint. An internal current surce surces current (I OCSet ) ut f the OCSet pin. This current is a functin f the switching frequency and hence, f R t. Table. shws I OCSet at different switching frequencies. The internal current surce develps a vltage acrss R OCSet. When the lw side MOSFET is turned n, the inductr current flws thrugh the Q2 and results in a vltage at OCSet which is given by: OCSet ( IOCSet ROCSet ) ( R ) I DS(n L )...() Fig. 7. Cnnectin f ver current sensing resistr An ver current is detected if the OCSet pin ges belw grund. Hence, at the current limit threshld, OCset 0. Then, fr a current limit setting I Limit,R OCSet is calculated as fllws: R I OCSet OCSet 400 (μa)...(2) R (kω) R DS( n) * I t OCSet I Limit......(4) An vercurrent detectin trips the OCP cmparatr, latches OCP signal and cycles the sft start functin in hiccup mde. The hiccup is perfrmed by shrting the sft-start capacitr t grund and cunting the number f switching cycles. The Sft Start pin is held lw until 4096 cycles have been cmpleted. The OCP signal resets and the cnverter recvers. After every sft start cycle, the cnverter stays in this mde until the verlad r shrt circuit is remved. The OCP circuit starts sampling current typically 60 ns after the lw gate drive rises t abut. This delay functins t filter ut switching nise. 4

Thermal Shutdwn Temperature sensing is prvided inside IR84W. The trip threshld is typically set t 40 C. When trip threshld is exceeded, thermal shutdwn turns ff bth MOSFETs and discharges the sft start capacitr. Autmatic restart is initiated when the sensed temperature drps within the perating range.

Fr R E /R F R C /R D, therefre, the utput vltage f the slave fllws that f the master until the vltage at the Seq pin f the slave reaches 0.7. After the vltage at the Seq pin f the slave exceeds 0.85, the internal 0.7 reference f the slave dictates its utput vltage. It is recmmended that irrespective f the sequencing cnfiguratin used, the input vltage shuld be allwed t cme up t its nminal value first, fllwed by cc and Enable, befre the sequencing signal is applied. Fr nn-sequenced peratin, the Seq pin shuld be tied t a vltage greater than 0.85, such as. r cc. Again, the input vltage shuld be allwed t cme up befre cc and Enable. Fig. 8b.

The feedback vltage frms an input t a windw cmparatr whse upper and lwer threshlds are 0.805 and 0.595 respectively. Hence, the Pwer Gd signal is flagged when the Fb pin vltage is within the PGd windw, i. e., between 0.595 t 0.805, as shwn in Fig.9 The PGd pin is pen drain and it needs t be externally pulled high.

Minimum n time Cnsideratins The minimum ON time is the shrtest amunt f time fr which the Cntrl FET may be reliably turned n, and this depends n the internal timing delays. Fr the IR84W, the typical minimum n-time is specified as 00 ns. Any design r applicatin using the IR84W must ensure peratin with a pulse width that is higher than this minimum n-time and preferably higher than 50 ns. This is necessary fr the circuit t perate withut jitter and pulseskipping, which can cause high inductr current ripple and high utput vltage ripple. In any applicatin that uses the IR84W, the fllwing cnditin must be satisfied: t t n n(min) t n(min) in D F s in F t s n ut F The minimum utput vltage is limited by the reference vltage and hence ut(min) 0.7. Therefre, fr ut(min) 0.7, s ut F in t ut s n(min) Maximum Duty Rati Cnsideratins A fixed ff-time f 200 ns maximum is specified fr the IR84W. This prvides an upper limit n the perating duty rati at any given switching frequency. It is clear that, higher the switching frequency, the lwer is the maximum duty rati at which the IR84W can perate. T allw a margin f 50ns, the maximum perating duty rati in any applicatin using the IR84W shuld still accmmdate abut 250 ns ff-time.

Hwever, practical cnsideratins dictate that any applicatin that demands a pulse width smaller than 75ns may nt exhibit jitter free peratin ver the entire lad range. This means that fr 6 input vltage, the peratin frequency shuld be limited t 250 khz. 7

Applicatin Infrmatin Design Example: The fllwing example is a typical applicatin fr IR84W. The applicatin circuit is shwn n page 2. Enabling the IR84W As explained earlier, the precise threshld f the Enable lends itself well t implementatin f a ULO fr the Bus ltage.

Output ltage Prgramming Output vltage is prgrammed by reference vltage and external vltage divider. The Fb pin is the inverting input f the errr amplifier, which is internally referenced t 0.7. The divider is ratied t prvide 0.7 at the Fb pin when the utput is at its desired value. The utput vltage is defined by using the fllwing equatin: I Δ F in s 2 (.2 max).8 2 A 54m 600 khz IR84W Enable R + 8 R ref 9 in R R 2 R2 in (min) * EN.2... (5) R R R R 2 + 2 EN in( min ) EN...

Typical applicatin f the IR84W fr prgramming the utput vltage Sft-Start Prgramming The sft-start timing can be prgrammed by selecting the sft-start capacitance value. Frm (), fr a desired start-up time f the cnverter, the sft start capacitr can be calculated by using: C SS Where T start is the desired start-up time (ms). Fr a start-up time f.5ms, the sft-start capacitr will be 0.099μF. Chse a 0.μF ceramic capacitr. Btstrap Capacitr Selectin.........(8) T drive the Cntrl FET, it is necessary t supply a gate vltage at least 4 greater than the vltage at the SW pin, which is cnnected the surce f the Cntrl FET. This is achieved by using a btstrap cnfiguratin, which cmprises the internal btstrap dide and an external btstrap capacitr (C6), as shwn in Fig. 2.. The peratin f the circuit is as fllws: When the lwer MOSFET is turned n, the capacitr nde cnnected t SW is pulled dwn t grund. The capacitr charges twards cc thrugh the internal btstrap dide, which has a frward vltage drp D. The vltage c acrss the btstrap capacitr C6 is apprximately given as c IR84W IR624 cc Fb D OUT...

the vltage c acrss C6 remains apprximately unchanged and the vltage at the Bt pin becmes Bt A btstrap capacitr f value 0.uF is suitable fr mst applicatins. Input Capacitr Selectin The ripple current generated during the n time f the upper MOSFET shuld be prvided by the input capacitr. The RMS value f this ripple is expressed by: I RMS cc D in I D ( D).........(2) in + cc IR84W D... ().........() Where: D is the Duty Cycle I RMS is the RMS value f the input capacitr current. I is the utput current. Fr I 2A and D 0.5, the I RMS 0.7 A. Ceramic capacitrs are recmmended due t their peak current capabilities. They als feature lw ESR and ESL at higher frequency which enables better efficiency. Fr this applicatin, it is advisable t have x0uf 25 ceramic capacitr C26X5RE06M frm TDK. In additin t these, althugh nt mandatry, a X0uF, 25 SMD capacitr EE-FKEP may als be used as a bulk capacitr and is recmmended if the input pwer supply is nt lcated clse t the cnverter. IN C6 SW PGnd Bt + c - Fig. 2. Btstrap circuit t generate c vltage L Inductr Selectin The inductr is selected based n utput pwer, perating frequency and efficiency requirements. A lw inductr value causes large ripple current, resulting in the smaller size, faster respnse t a lad transient but pr efficiency and high utput nise. Generally, the selectin f the inductr value can be reduced t the desired maximum ripple current in the inductr ( Δi). The ptimum pint is usually fund between 20% and 50% ripple f the utput current. Fr the buck cnverter, the inductr value fr the desired perating ripple current can be determined using the fllwing relatin: in L Where: ( ) Δi L ; Δt D Δt Fs Δi * F in in Maximum input vltage Output ltage Δi Inductr ripple current F Switching frequency s in Δt Turn n time D Duty cycle...

Output Capacitr Selectin The vltage ripple and transient requirements determine the utput capacitrs type and values. The criteria is nrmally based n the value f the Effective Series Resistance (ESR). Hwever the actual capacitance value and the Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL) are ther cntributing cmpnents. These cmpnents can be described as Δ Δ Δ Δ ( ESL) Δ ( ESR) ( ESR) ( C) + Δ ΔI in ΔI 8 * C ( ESL) L L * ESR L * ESL * F + Δ s ( C)...

The resnant frequency f the LC filter is expressed as fllws: F Gain 0 db LC 2 π L C Figure shws gain and phase f the LC filter. Since we already have 80 phase shift frm the utput filter alne, the system runs the risk f being unstable. -40dB/decade.........(6) Phase 0 0 Δ Output vltage ripple ΔI L Inductr ripple current Since the utput capacitr has a majr rle in the verall perfrmance f the cnverter and determines the result f transient respnse, selectin f the capacitr is critical. The IR84W can perfrm well with all types f capacitrs. As a rule, the capacitr must have lw enugh ESR t meet utput ripple and lad transient requirements. The gal fr this design is t meet the vltage ripple requirement in the smallest pssible capacitr size. Therefre it is advisable t select ceramic capacitrs due t their lw ESR and ESL and small size. Tw f the Panasnic ECJ- 2FB0J226ML (22uF, 6., mohm) capacitrs is a gd chice. Feedback Cmpensatin The IR84W is a vltage mde cntrller. The cntrl lp is a single vltage feedback path including errr amplifier and errr cmparatr. T achieve fast transient respnse and accurate utput regulatin, a cmpensatin circuit is necessary.

Gain and Phase f LC filter The IR84W uses a vltage-type errr amplifier with high-gain (0dB) and wide-bandwidth. The utput f the amplifier is available fr DC gain cntrl and AC phase cmpensatin. The errr amplifier can be cmpensated either in type II r type III cmpensatin. Lcal feedback with Type II cmpensatin is shwn in Fig. 4. This methd requires that the utput capacitr shuld have enugh ESR t satisfy stability requirements. In general the utput capacitr s ESR generates a zer typically at 5kHz t 50kHz which is essential fr an acceptable phase margin.

Hwever, the crssver frequency shuld be lw enugh t allw attenuatin f switching nise. Typically, the cntrl lp bandwidth r crssver frequency is selected such that The DC gain shuld be large enugh t prvide high DC-regulatin accuracy. The phase margin shuld be greater than 45 fr verall stability. Fr this design we have: in 2.8 sc.8 ref 0.7 L. uh C 2x22uF, ESRmOhm each It must be nted here that the value f the capacitance used in the cmpensatr design must be the small signal value. Fr instance, the small signal capacitance f the 22uF capacitr used in this design is 2uF at.8 DC bias and 600 khz frequency. It is this value that must be used fr all cmputatins related t the cmpensatin. The small signal value may be btained frm the manufacturer s datasheets, design tls r SPICE mdels.

Layut Cnsideratins The layut is very imprtant when designing high frequency switching cnverters. Layut will affect nise pickup and can cause a gd design t perfrm with less than expected results. Make all the cnnectins fr the pwer cmpnents in the tp layer with wide, cpper filled areas r plygns. In general, it is desirable t make prper use f pwer planes and plygns fr pwer distributin and heat dissipatin. The inductr, utput capacitrs and the IR84W shuld be as clse t each ther as pssible. This helps t reduce the EMI radiated by the pwer traces due t the high switching currents thrugh them. Place the input capacitr directly at the in pin f IR84W. The feedback part f the system shuld be kept away frm the inductr and ther nise surces. The critical bypass cmpnents such as capacitrs fr cc shuld be clse t their respective pins. It is imprtant t place the feedback cmpnents including feedback resistrs and cmpensatin cmpnents clse t Fb and Cmp pins. The cnnectin between the OCSet resistr and the Sw pin shuld nt share any trace with the cnnectin between the btstrap capacitr and the Sw pin. Instead, it is recmmended t use a Kelvin in cnnectin f the trace PGnd frm the OCSet resistr and the trace frm the btstrap in capacitr at the Sw pin. PGnd In a multilayer PCB use ne layer as a pwer grund plane and have a cntrl circuit ut grund (analg grund), t which all signals are referenced. The gal is t lcalize the high AGnd current path t a separate lp that des nt interfere AGnd with the mre sensitive ut analg cntrl functin. These tw grunds must be cnnected tgether n the PC bard layut at a single pint. The Pwer QFN is a thermally enhanced package. Based n thermal perfrmance it is recmmended t use at least a 4-layers PCB. T effectively remve heat frm the device the expsed pad shuld be cnnected t the grund plane using vias.

PCB Metal and Cmpnents Placement Lead lands (the IC pins) width shuld be equal t nminal part lead width. The minimum lead t lead spacing shuld be 0.2mm t minimize shrting. Lead land length shuld be equal t maximum part lead length + 0. mm utbard extensin. The utbard extensin ensures a large and inspectable te fillet. Pad lands (the 4 big pads ther than the IC pins) length and width shuld be equal t maximum part pad length and width. Hwever, the minimum metal t metal spacing shuld be n less than 0.7mm fr 2 z. Cpper; n less than 0.mm fr z. Cpper and n less than 0.2mm fr z. Cpper.

Slder Resist It is recmmended that the lead lands are Nn Slder Mask Defined (NSMD). The slder resist shuld be pulled away frm the metal lead lands by a minimum f 0.025mm t ensure NSMD pads. The land pad shuld be Slder Mask Defined (SMD), with a minimum verlap f the slder resist nt the cpper f 0.05mm t accmmdate slder resist mis-alignment. Ensure that the slder resist in-between the lead lands and the pad land is 0.5mm due t the high aspect rati f the slder resist strip separating the lead lands frm the pad land. 2

Stencil Design PD-97507 The Stencil apertures fr the lead lands shuld be apprximately 80% f the area f the lead lads. Reducing the amunt f slder depsited will minimize the ccurrences f lead shrts. If t much slder is depsited n the center pad the part will flat and the lead lands will be pen. The maximum length and width f the land pad stencil aperture shuld be equal t the slder resist pening minus an annular 0.2mm pull back t decrease the incidence f shrting the center land t the lead lands when the part is pushed int the slder paste.
